4 Seedlings, which look really wierd, 2 different strains???

[canadianhemperor]

Ricky buy a tds meter 1st test your ro water to know it's reading (ex:10ppm)2nd put lets say 4 liters of water in watering can then add your nutes( the number of ppm that your mix should have will be specified on your nutes feeding program) let's say it's 1400 ppm 3rd after adding the nutes take a reading in watering can to see concentration of the solution (ex;1650 ppm) just add a little water from their until you reached the desired concentration of 1400 ppm and voila it's done! will make the solution 10 ppm less concentrated if you want it perfect 1410 ppm is where you stop. 1400 ppm from nutes and 10 ppm from ro water!

I'm happy to see that the info I provided in, "PPM's Made Easy to Understand", was easy enough for you to understand.... So much so, you were able to pass the info on here to RickyNewman....

It's a good read Ricky....should check it out yourself as well....

it's all from my brain sorry CGI

[Dutch Pimp]

everybody play nice...look ..over there...>...puppies!

[CanGroIt]

it's all from my brain sorry CGI

Yeah, right.... That's why I read this reply to RickyNewman AFTER you quoted me from that EXACT ppm made easy thread in the other thread we're going back and forth on.... It's all you've been doing here....posting what you've read somewhere else....not personal experience....

So you say! Stop talking with your ass it reeks of fart!!!!!

[canadianhemperor]

You never read yet, you know stuff. Does not sound right to me!!!

14 years of smoking and growing.What you say it's bs kid CGI!!!!

Hey, thanks for the help guys!

Here is the completed form, @CGI:

What is your experience level? (first timer, novice, experienced...)

First timer/Novice (Grown before but lost it at harvest)

Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. (MH, HPS, CFL's, tube fluorescents, LED's)
1 x 300 watt Blue CFL (Hanging above the plants), 2 x 400watt HID stacked up shining through cupboard door (these are on plants for 10 hours a day then I take them down)

.2) Distance from tops?
2/3 inches for CFL, about 18 inches away from sides of plants are HID

.3) Reflector type? (cool tube set-up, bat wing, enclosed reflector, bare bulb...)
Standard reflector on CFL, the HID are in a box with a reflector

.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply?
Yes from the intake fan, and the door being open

.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan?
Yeah, an exhaust fan/carbon filter, also two fans inside on the grow tent help circulate it.

.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule?

CFL: 300 watt, have a 6500K bulb and 2700k bulb, blue one in now until flowering. Then switch to red when flowering.
HID: 400watt, no idea on kelvin rating.
Schedule: 18/6 for CFL, the HID i setup each day and leave on for around 10 hours ( i can't put these in the tent as create too much heat, in the door its fine)

Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...)
BioBizz Organic soil

.8) Size of container.
small seedling pots, not sure on the exact size.. probably about 2.5 inches diameter and 4/5 inches deep?

.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings?
Germinated from seed in paper towels.

Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting?
tap water, left to stand 24 hours or more.

11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...)
ph test kit, put some soil in bottle, add this liquid i have with the kit, it turns colour, match colour with chart.

12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...)
Not had to do this yet.

13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule.
I have biobizz bloom, but have not fertizlied yet - will do at around 5 weeks after sprouting.

14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering?
WHen they need it, so when the soil dries a little i water until soil is completly most and drains through bottom

15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)
None.

16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
JUst tested it and it looks between 7.0 and 7.5.

17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?
No idea.

18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?
I don't do this, closet i do is misiting with tap water (same water i feed them with) - maybe couple times a week.

Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors?
Indoors.

20) What size of closet, room or hut?
60x60x140

21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?
lights on: fluctuate from 80 - 85
lights off: fluctuate from 70 - 80

22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom?
not yet, thank god.

Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)
Ortega Indica, Alquimista.

24) From seeds or clones?
seeds

25) Is this an autoflower strain?
no

I hope this helps

Tap water isn't the best, IMO, but many people successfully grow using it.... I'm not a fan of it because of the extras that the municipal water companies put in it.... But like mentioned, some people have no problems with it.... If you can, get yourself a source of RO or distilled.... This way you can completely control the amount of ppms in your nutrient mix....

Along with the Bio Bloom, you should get yourself the Fish Mix and Alg A Mic for a complete and balanced NPK mix....and some Cal-Mag....and a micro nutrient that you think will work for you....(I prefer Liquid Karma).... When thinking about nutrients, you need to think balance....

pH test strips are not very reliable.... If your nute mix has any tint to it at all, your pH reading has already been altered before you even guess what the pH could be.... Digital pH meters are the most reliable.... Milwaukee makes an inexpensive one....and you will have to get the pH calibrating solution as well.... Then to adjust your pH up and down, you simply get yourself some pH up and pH down....very inexpensive and last a long frigging time....

Have you tried running just one of the 400w HID to see if temps permit 18/6??? Just wondering.... Once you are able to control the temps, your plants are going to thank you with those 2 - 400watters....

Other than what was just mentioned, everything looked ok....IMO.... I can't really say what is causing the cauliflower look but I can say that most of the pics that I saw looked like healthy young plants.... I strongly recommend changing your water source and getting a complete line of nutrients.... pH is very important as well....and while we're at it, might as well get yourself a ppm meter....don't want you to over fert your lil ones....

Hope this helps....If you have any more questions, ask away....
